Ruben Amorim - Next Chelsea manager?

[Gordon Bennett]

It doesn't matter who is the next manager. If you want him to be successful, fix the squad first. 

If you want Amorim and you want to see similar football that he produce with sporting, you need to give him the tool otherwise it will be hilarious. 

He can coach midfield rotation, press bait but if your player can't stretch the opp and win aerial duel, his tactic will be useless. 

Which key signings would you make for Amorim to succeed Bob?

I don't think what we need really change in term of profile.

LB is a priority. Colwill has looked very uncomfortable playing as lb especially in term of defending far post. 

If we want ability to go long, an attacker who can fight in the air is a must. 

Then you need to decide on the "winger" situation.

Can James an Chilwell stay healthy? Do we want to keep Sterling? if not we need wb/winger. 

We also have a gazillion wonderkid winger on the book, so you need to look at them. 

The midfield situation is not perfect but if our backline are big it doesn't matter. 

Lasty we actually have already have key ingredients in term of what Amorim want, CB who can really pass. Badi and Colwil are brilliant passer.

According to the BBC, Lopetegui has agreed a deal to become next West Ham manager, so I guess that leaves few choices for Amorim other than the rumour of us and staying at Sporting.

Amorim, Flick, Conte, and Mourinho are reported to not join us according to Ornstein. Just leaves DeZerbi......

West Ham are getting a very good manager and another club we have to worry about next season.

I rather give Pochettino another season if the alternative is De Zerbi, and I think that Pochettino has underachieved. Isn’t there a more exciting, up and coming coach as Michel in Girona or Hoeness for Stuttgart?

I don’t rate Lopetegui that much either but maybe will work well for West Ham. I consider him a good person, though.

De Zerbi has been found out to a large extent. As a manager and as a person. He had a system that worked with the players he had. Lose key players and suffer some injuries - who hasn't? - and the tactics cupboard is bare. Add a spoonful of megalomania to the recipe and no thanks.
